Directions

Prepare the Pickled Cabbage

1.

In a bowl, whisk together water, vinegars, and sugar until the sugar is mostly dissolved.

2.

Stir in the garlic, bay leaf, caraway seeds (if using), salt, and a good grind of black pepper.

3.

Place cabbage in a jar or bowl and pour vinegar mixture over it. Seal or tightly cover the jar/bowl and let it sit on the counter for three to four hours.

4.

Stir, then seal again and refrigerate until chilled (at least one hour).

Prepare the Mahi Mahi

1.

Season fish with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg, beer, flour, and paprika to form a smooth batter.

3.

In a separate shallow bowl, dredge fish in flour.

4.

In a deep fryer or saucepan, heat oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

5.

Coat fish in the prepared batter, then carefully place in the oil. Fry until golden, around four to five minutes.

Prepare the Mango Salsa

1.

In a bowl, combine all salsa ingredients.

Assemble the Tacos

1.

To serve, place fish in taco shells. Top with pickled cabbage and mango salsa.

Tips:

Multitask! Prepare the fish and salsa while the pickled cabbage chills in the fridge.
